How to Choose and Buy an Electric Fireplace There are so many different kinds of electric fireplaces, the choices can be overwhelming. DonÕt worry, with just a few basic tips youÕll be able to shop like the pros do. The first thing we will cover is the type of fireplace you need. There are three main types that you will figure out when you answer the three following questions. 1. Do you want to simply hang a slim electric fireplace on an interior wall? If your answer is yes, then you want a wall-mount electric fireplace. A skilled DIY-er can do this just fine. 2. Do you want an electric fireplace that is installed into the wall so that the front of it is flush with the wall? Then you want a built-in (also called recessed) electric fireplace, and this is generally a professional installation for a clean designer finish look. 3. Are you converting your traditional wood or gas fireplace into an electric fireplace? If so, you want an electric fireplace insert. Next you want to think about the size you need. A helpful tip is to either measure your traditional fireplace (for an insert) or put painter´s tape on the wall where you want to install your new electric fireplace so you get the dimensions right. That´s the hardest part! Now your choices will depend on the specific features that you want. These features include heat and remote control (most models have both), flame colors, display media, and the price range to match what you want to spend. If you are looking on the more affordable side of the spectrum, Touchstone is an excellent high quality brand. If on the other hand you want luxury models with a variety of special features, Amantii fireplaces are fit to be installed in the most modern residential and commercial environments. Now you have the basics to help you choose and buy an electric fireplace. If you want to buy one online, look for a reputable reseller with detailed product information including videos and specifications so you get the best model for your needs.
